Schematic map of the genome. From outside: Circle 1, genome positions in kb (started from dnaA); Circles 2 and 4, predicted protein coding sequences (CDSs) on the forward (outer wheel) and the reverse (inner wheel) strands, colored according to COG classification; Circle 3, GC skew plot; The positive GC skew value (blue) corresponds to leading strand and negative GC value (orange) correspond to lagging strand. Circles 5 and 6, expanded genes in M. fulvus 124B02, compared with M. stipitatus DSM 14675; Circles 7, putative virus and prophage-derived CDSs; Circle 8, GC content showing deviations from the average (69.96 %); Circle 9 and 10, putative plasmid-derived CDSs (leading strand, 1,879 CDSs; lagging strand, 2,046 CDSs); Core circle, paralogous CDSs
